Hey Mate,

I've been with AdEngage for years, and this is a new team in 2012 - they're much better, Like their new management team a LOT. Prior I had a bad experience with them, but much better after 2011 acquisition.

Adengage is a great place to buy from and sell traffic to Adsense, Openx, Doubleclick and other networks. Adengage is much cheaper and you can buy from them and resell and make a profit.

If you need something, there are two great guys:
- John on advertiser side
- Bill on publisher side
hit them up anytime and they'll take care of you, they're new & the best.

I've found some much better deals by working with John than going on their website. he's great to work with. I've seen their new platform in beta, it's awesome.

They've got a lot of specials and deals not on their website, contact john for more information.

Regards,
Brett Luci.

Hi Brett, welcome to our forums. We love having new people here but our members would be suspicious of a first time poster making such a strong endorsement of a product. Their first thought would be that you're an AdEngage employee, a shill. Why not dispel their doubts and tell us a bit more about yourself, maybe give us a link to your sites? (I wasn't able to tell much from your email address as it's a freemail arrangement).

Adengage is much cheaper and you can buy from them and resell and make a profit.

Care to give us some examples and numbers? To people who don't know you - and that's everyone here considering it's your first post, some real information that helps them make money is always more appreciated than a plain endorsement - they have no reason to "trust" your opinion as they don't know you.

Prior I had a bad experience with them, but much better after 2011 acquisition

What was the bad experience and how did it improve?

Some information please rather than just a glowing recommendation.. Thanks.

Update: Brett has now been banned because his IP, 139.190.207.86, has been found spamming other forums.

I decided to leave his post above. I have no evidence he's an employee of AdEngage but it sure does reflect on them badly if he is.

We've also deleted a post here from a "Jovi" using an address very similar to Brett's. A user by the same Jovi name posted yesterday in another forum pretending to be providing unbiased feedback on AdEngage. Either AdEngage or someone else is actively spamming forums to promote the program. It could be a competitor, yes, but more likely to be AdEngage themselves.

My advice: a company so clueless about publicity / so desperate for good reviews is best avoided.
